-iIarford county had better following
the example of Cecil, do away with her old
faulty local option law and substitute
stringent prohibitory law. This is shown by
the report of the grand jury which adjourn
eli on Wednesday. Oat of 80 witnesses ex-
amiued by them 30 We're on local option
cases alone. The report adds Its COLI
staut alleged violation all over the county
has brought the lOCal-option law into dis
rcpute, and tends to destroy that respected
and awe which all laws should command;
| and recognizing the full import of our tes-
tiInony, we would unanimously recon-
mend that the next Legislature make some
ch .uge iii the local-option law"
